Graduate student Prosper Nyovanie wants to power off-grid communities worldwide with scalable solar electric systems. Fatima Husain | MIT News correspondent During high school, Prosper Nyovanie had to alter his daily and nightly schedules to accommodate the frequent power outages that swept cities across Zimbabwe. “[Power] would go almost every day — it was almost […]
Continue reading →Modern communication systems often employ optical fibers to carry signals across or between devices. The integrated optics in these devices combine more than one function into a single circuit. However, signal transmission requires long optical fibers, which makes it difficult to miniaturize the device. Instead of long optical fibers, scientists have started testing planar waveguides. […]

In practice, there is.” The same is true for strategy, where implementation, assessment, and adaptation are often required. Contact us to see how Plan A2Z Software will make a practical difference with your business.

Foremost we at CerCis believe that the tools that people use must exist to serve the people who are working with the tool. There must be no awkward interface or second guessing by our clients; people don’t want to ponder over assembly instructions, wrestle over […]

Unlike other would-be Carnacs, though, Deloitte bases its predictions on surveys and data, […]

Emily Dahl | MIT Energy Initiative Energy demand for transportation — which today accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world’s energy consumption — is expected to rise substantially as a growing middle class in emerging […]

Now, crowdfunding is pulling in a new generation of green investors “I have always been interested in the environment. As a child, I thought ‘what if the world […]

An amplifier for such a light would increase the brightness by increasing the number of photons emitted. Photonics researchers have created such a high gain optical amplifier that is compact enough to be placed on a chip. The developed amplifier, when used […]
